What the accounts disclose
“We annually approve a reserves policy which emphasises not only the need for unrestricted reserves for use in emergencies but also our use and reliance on the unrestricted funds which we use to underwrite some projects until restricted funds are raised. At present we do not hold a separate unrestricted reserve.” — page 19
“The charity makes grants solely to KICS Uganda, which implements the projects. Kanaama is the main source of income for KICS Uganda (98% excluding revenue from microcredit). An annual budget is agreed by Kanaama, and transfers are made only on receipt of accounts. Kanaama and KICS Uganda’s partnership was defined by a Memorandum of Understanding signed in January 2023, which sets out the roles and responsibilities of each organisation.” — page 2
